    "comment": "Barry Brown (c. 1962 – May 29, 2004) was a seminal Jamaican roots and dancehall singer prominent in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Known for his soulful, plaintive tenor and socially conscious lyrics, he hit early with classics like “Step It Up Youthman”. Working with producers like Bunny Lee and Linval Thompson, he bridged the gap between roots reggae and the early dancehall era.",
